Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight for the Thursday April 4th regularly scheduled as per a city council meeting. We will start the meeting tonight by asking, I will ask you to stand and join me at the moment of silent meditation. I invite you to pray in any manner that you are comfortable and we will follow that with pledge allegiance. Thank you. And I was remiss. I should have asked you to specifically pray for the carers family and the car lost on buzzing on this list. And it will be something after afternoon across the church. I play with the people who stood by the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. I'm going to call him. You're too many. family and come with him in February of life. Because I know everything Jim does is family. It is with the blessed does family and they are close to the family. It is my pleasure and I admire this kind of old vaccine to recognize someone who helps just be in old vaccine. We are specifically recognizing Dr. James Jim Ritch Jr Henry Jr. tonight for many years and I'm sorry I don't have any notes. I'm on 14 years on the and a lot of service out there, he's a pilot, a pilot. And has worked really hard diligently over the years too. Make sure that our business plan airport is one of the best around. And we believe it is. If you haven't been out there, I would invite you to go see it. It's a beautiful airport, right in the foot hills of the U.R. Is it? It's a beautiful place to come and go in airplane, and we have a wonderful museum out there. So, but more so than the work on the airport, I want to take the opportunity to study that zero h is way more than just a one-trick pony. I know. He has done so much work on our health and development wellness initiatives here in town. He takes groups on Hikes regularly. He's part of the development wellness, the originating group of A3, which would ask for a lot of active enabled. A-3, which was a large active animal, has not much work with that and has a concern citizen and a problem with an ash borer, has actually contributed. Monterially, many of our brothers over the years, and his family's got a couple of years ago, and helped us do a really nice beautification of Oklahoma cemetery. He saw a knee kind of fact in us at CIT. We like to help solve this problem and they gave us the significant money to do that. And so we're very, very proud of Rich Family and Dr. Rich and his daughter and his wife and want to say thank you Jim so much. We'd like to say we are actually presenting him a key to the city. He gave you the seat, Dr. Jane Kinnumiss Jr., and I appreciate you for many years of dedicated service to the airport. Ashborough Airport Authority presented the airport port the year 2019. It's got our all-american city seal on the plaque. And I hope you will. Pang this, I know you were retired. Probably don't have an office to hang in here, but I'll turn you to find a place to hold. And no, no, here, but turn you by the place that I'll hold. And I know you'll hang there, so we're proud to give to you and hope you'll proud to be here. I am. Thank you so much. I'm going to say my second question. Thank you. I'd like to call Annie Ellison, Director of Early Care and Education for Randall County Partnership and Truth, and she's going to tell us where some good news about an event coming up. All right, thanks for being here, Smith. I'm glad. I am ready. So I don't know if many of you have heard about AirSet and... ...and sadly, thank you. That we celebrate every year through the R&D Foundation for Children called the UCM Childs. And basically what that is, it is an annual event that celebrates girl learning, young children, their teachers, and their families. And we thought this year, we've done a way to celebrate, but to join the efforts of the downtown associate community, I'm hoping I'm saying that right, with their visions to be the gateway to the North Carolina City. So we, with the youngest children and the citizens of Wendell County, thought it would be fun to have and we already have a cup of tea. Pretty late. It would be fun, but to join us, I would say, to children to cup the tea again, sunset and view. So you may have already seen some of the artwork displayed if you've driven, brows, stroll, walked down sunset avenue and so our knitting of those beautiful artwork that is this theme is so long to to Tokyo and to the course of the city. And that will be up to the month of April. So on April 12th we are having a children's office to raid with the help of lots of different organizations in Red Up County who have helped to promote this. So we formed with the Ranna Quartzfield who has created a beautiful habitat backdrop for all the puppets as they finish during the parade and that's just why it's said, full is around 17 different puppets that children have made with their features in our culture, center of Nevada County. Laws and small, they have the class puppets, which is one of these, and then they have the individual puppets, they have socks, or make a bed, or whatever. And then all the back to vice-centenial park, they help you join them, they help you there, with the photo marks center. And then we also have right away production companies that only can help make public people happy. So we're creating a huge area around with lots of different organizations helping to provide this. And I have some suppliers. I'll just leave it here and on your way out of here. We might do more about the parade. We do have some of our city officials already on board to be grandmarchals. And we invite you to be part of this really fun activity to support our young this little piece of izzo party. So this is an invitation, obviously, that'll be here for you. And then I also have an agenda that shares kind of this outline of the day. It starts at 9.30pm, we'll be laying all the children to be arriving. We also have the United Fifth Raid and the jury rumours coming to entertain the children while they're waiting so the grade starts officially at 10 o'clock. The grade will last about half an hour. We're closing well sunset from Fayetteville Street up until I'm sure through the back to the city's blessings. We're able to do that. And then after the greatest finish, all the budgets will go into each habitat that we've created with the random art skills. And then this new is going to do a presentation for yourself to do animals, hoping they're going to be large, but I don't think they have the training pool all about that. So I think they'll be small little critters. And then, Rhinoique will start creating the bucket people wearing like a picnic lunch. So please come support us. You can just come and clap on sunset or for short time of watching, or you can be part of the full day and come to the White Symphony Orchestra as well. Please start doing a no-brain game. It'll bring you more comfort. Because it's not before the finish of the training. So just come and have a fun day with us. Anyone have any questions? Good job. Well, again, we should talk to you comments. We'll have lots of large puppeteers, as well as fun pupp puppets years so please come and join us and you can see all the beautiful creations thank you thank you thank you thank you and next is my pleasure call Mary Joan. She is trails and natural heritage coordinator, Dr. Henry. She's going to do some great news about the work on the recreational trails here in County. Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council. I'm delighted to be here tonight to talk to you about a project that involves Asheboro on Deep River State Trail. And I want to stop at this point and take this opportunity to thank the City of Ashboro for being involved in the Deep River State Trail. Ashboro just has a very small part of the Deep River Trail, but it's a very strategic and important part. And I'm going to talk to you about that in just a minute. I want to give you some background on Deep River Trail, but it's a very strategic and important park. And I'm gonna talk to you about that in just a minute. I want to give you some background on Deep River State Park, a state trail of the Randolph County Tourism Development Authority saw Deep River as an initiative area back in the late 90s that would promote tourism. And also be something for the residents and our visitors and the business community. So in 2007, it took 2007 for it to be named a state trail. It's one of only six state trails. And it's the only one that is both the green way and a blue way. A lot of work has been done, as you probably know, after that was in 2015, TDA came back on site and put together a deep river trail task force. The city obviously participated on that. And the TDA paid for a conceptual plan for a 15 mile trail along the river and really more like a 20 mile blueway. So everyone started to get to work together. That was really because in Randleman, they already had a, over a mile on, on Greenway. Franklinville had a mile on the rail trail. Ramsey was working. So we try to get all the municipalities since, most of them are very small, to try to help them assist them and try to get this all pulled together. So recently, we've had an opportunity to look at the first portion of blueway so that we can, we can, people are doing that informally but there's really no place to put in and to take out. One of the best places it seems is between Wharfful and Central Falls. As you know, central falls is in the city of Asheville's jurisdiction. And at central falls, they're at Oliverty Road, the bridge there. Asheville has a lift station. It's right adjacent to the Shriners Club. So it's a perfect place for a takeout. And because right downstream, about a mile downstream, is Cox's dam. And we kind of want people to get off the river before they have to portage that. So the county has put together a pre-application for recreation or trail program funds for both Randerman, who has the Worthful Dam, owns property around the Worthful Dam owns property around the Worthful Dam and downstream of the Worthful Dam right around Worthful Road Bridge. So the idea is to have a launch site at that point and want a take-in site or it could be launched later on at the Asheboro's lift station. So the project is $125,000, basically $35,000 for parking on each one and then the launch site is about $25,000 in a little bit for contingency. So the whole project is $125,000, $100,000 coming from the recreational trail program grant and then the match is $25,000 would be shared between Randleman and Asheboro. The county is as put in the application because it's on a reimbursement basement. So you have to put the $100,000 up and then you have to ask for reimbursement. You get it back but it's a cash flow problem which can be a problem for some of these smaller municipalities. So this is our first blueway section and very excited about it. I think it has a good chance of making it getting funded and we'll know in a month or so whether we've been invited to make a full application which will be due August 1st and we'll have more details about the design and so forth of the parking and everything. I really appreciate Ashboro joining up with Randleman and getting this application put together really quickly, this free application. We did it in less than two weeks. So it was quite a quite a feat to get everybody to do that. Now I really appreciate that cooperation. The other thing I want to thank Ashboro for is that since Randolph County is really doing the first part of this state trail, state trail says we can pick out the logo in the signage that's going to go along deep river. And since Asheboro has the signage graphic expertise Trevor is chairing the signage committee that's brought together the four municipalities in the county to choose a logo and then that will be forwarding several of those up to state trails and that will become our official signage along deep river all the way even outside of Randolph County. So I just want to give you an update on that and and and really thank you for playing this rather strategic role. It's just the perfect place for the launch and in the future it could be that both sites will be used for trailheads. The central fall site is very near where the county landfill land begins and that's over two miles stretch and this could be the trail head for that when when that comes into fruition. So lots of things are happening. We just put in state trail designation applications for Randerman, Franklville and Ramsoor and it totals over four miles that are completed on the ground. So thank you for being a part of that. Appreciate it. Thank you, Ms. Jones. I'd very much like to question. I might mention it's a three mile stretch from Worthville to Central Falls, which is a very good paddle distance. And you can actually paddle down and paddle back if you want to because the water is so flattened area. So thank you for that. Thank you for your work. Just another example of efforts in this area that make ash borne tractor plush. And that's what it's all about is trying to get people out in the outdoors and have authentic outdoor experiences. People don't want to just kind of go to maybe a made-up, but they want something that has some history and culture and natural heritage as we're in. So I really appreciate Ashbro playing a role in this when you could just say, well, that's not much. That's not our area. we don't have much on on on the deep river so appreciate that being supportive of all the others hey thank you I'm going to be in the report. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Councilor Chair, Chair, Madam, Christine Guest. Like everyone of you received the 2018 annual report, I'll be brief. Before I get started, I want to say thank you so much for your support. I've enjoyed the last four years as Chief Police for the City of Ashbur, and I couldn't have done it without y'all. And so I just want to say thank you because it's our mission to do to make relationships in our community to come together to find a common goal, work through problems and situations and we do all that together. We're part of the community and I just want to thank y'all for being a part of us. Just a couple briefings I'm not going to keep you long you got a book and I want to tell you now if you have any questions later on please don't hesitate to comment. We had 26,425 calls for services past year which is 22.3% of those were calls that required a report and that is an increase of almost about 700 calls from 2017. It continues to increase each and every year. Our total offenses charged with 4,662 charges on 1,950 of actual physical arrest. We had an average response time of five minutes and 10 seconds to our calls, which is down 10 seconds from 2017, which I'm very proud of. We had 103 DWI arrest in the city, which is only up only two from 2017. We had 6,973 offences on 5,100 traffic citations, which is also an increase. We also had 1,835 traffic crash accidents throughout the city and we also had the common places, we'll kind of narrow it down to the top five and that is actually you'll find that in there. Actually it's right there. So you kind of see where the total is, Dixie Drive, Fatal Street, Salisbury, I-73, 74, and Northline Highway 49. And they actually account for 58.5% of all the accidents in the city. The last thing I kind of want to cover is our animal control. This past year, we traveled 21,671 miles, we had 85 answers reports taken. We gathered 340 animals picked up and there's no secret with the council that we've had to do some restructions as of late. We've lost both of our home control officers in a very short and brief period of time and so we have started from ground zero. I have been in contact with the manager and we have both sit down and I have come up with a plan for 2019, which we already have underway. We've hired two animal control officers here in just the last month, one is Hunter Williams and the other is Taylor Freeman, excuse me, about forgot her name. But two very young people and very professional, do a great job so far, not bringing in no bad habits we're going to teach them from ground zero up. Also on this particular restructure I am putting an aspirin police sergeant in the supervisor position over those animal control officers. In the past we actually had one around for the patrol officers, was a supervisor. And I found that through time that that didn't work too good, so we're restructuring. And that sergeant will be responsible for the day-to-day activities and make sure we're doing what we're supposed to do. We're providing the service to the citizens of Ashburg, expect, and that's about all I have. You might have any questions? Good job. And that's about all I have. You might have any questions? Good job. Chase, you do a good job. And we're proud to have you as our chief and proud of the officers that you have on the field of command. Our service is good. Proud of the city. Thank you. Thank you. And I'm good you're on the commitment. Oh! I'm going to get you a zone after minimum. You're going to get me a zone after minimum. You're going to get me a zone after minimum. You're going to get me a zone after minimum. You're going to get me a zone after minimum. I'd like to call on our HR director, Doug Kemp, to bring us up the date on my time to park my labor or safety awardees. Thank you, Mayor. I'm a last minute fill in for safety manager Steve Pay. He was not able to be here. I just would like to say that he does an excellent job with our safety program along with the department heads and employees of the city. And under his leadership, we have several departments that have met the requirements to receive these North Carolina Safety Awards this year. We'll be taking several of the employees from those departments to the banquet, AVS, this coming Monday for the whole town and the other, you know, for the safety awards for everybody in Ashbur. So we're looking forward to that. We're proud of our employees. We're proud of the work they do, and they do it safely. They make it. You know, they have difficult jobs from the police and the fire to the folks in public works that are out there digging. And, you know, there's a lot of danger in these jobs, and we're able to get most of the jobs done safely day and end day out, and that's just a, due to Steve's hard work along with the employees of the city, so. Question? Can I mind the box? I was just talking with, over 300, well over 300 employees in a number of miles that we travel to the police and the city and all nine departments. We're going to have some serious safety concerns engaged with some accidents. But when we have quite a number of our departments that are awarded each year for safety from the Department of Labor, it's great by them. It is. It was highly likely to work with state pay and our department is good. They really, it really is a focus of all the departments and it shows we're lucky to get by each day with a few accidents that we do have. Missed this. That was highly regulated jobs. Missed the business. Yep. And you know, we we're all of our policies and procedures are kept up to date. He's constantly monitoring and updating things that are required by the state. So I feel like cities in good hands safety wise. Thank you, sir. Thank you. And Chief, with the Summers from the fire department. You've got some information for us also. Good evening mayor. City Council, Ms. Dogburn. It's a pleasure being here this evening. In fact, this is my six month anniversary. So I guess you're stuck with me right now. So, it's been an exciting six months. Getting to know the firefighters, getting to know other city employees, and getting to know the community. It has really been exciting doing so. We're working diligently, reviewing, revising our policies, our procedures, as well as our job descriptions. In addition, we have went through a series of promotional assessments. We are slated to promote one battalion chief, two captains, five lieutenants, and five, excuse me, four engineers to leadership roles in the fire department. We're counting on these individuals to mentor our young firefighters and we are becoming a young department. In addition, they will lead asperrified Apartment into the future. With that said, I want to personally invite each and every one of you to our promotion of ceremony on April 25th at 530 at the Sunset Theatre. Okay, thank you. Fantastic. So again, I want to thank you. My wife and I have been well received in the city and I want to thank you on her behalf. She's not here tonight, but I want to thank you on her behalf as well. Again, thank you so much. Any questions? I just feel like I have some money for the show. And you know, it's a little pricey. No! No! What are you wearing there? You wear the six months of daytime. We are very pleased to have you at hand for us. Thank you for so much. We're here at the a call from the department. We're out of school and we're going to have a great time. So thank you for your hard work. And Chief Tottenham back there, we want to thank you for your work. We're holding things together in the interim and what you do every day. So, assistant chief. And I would like to echo that same thought. Couldn't do it without it. And you know, got a wonderful staff, wonderful staff. Couldn't ask for a better staff to work with. Thank you. Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, James. I'm going to take a point of privilege here. If you will allow me to get the Arborate on the side of the phone. Please. At the end of our Honolulu meetings, I sit here and I'm briefed the council and what's left of the audience on upcoming events and certain things of interest. And unfortunately by the end of our meeting, it's nobody here but Stan. So I wanted to move item 17 to hand. If this is not a tremendous problem, it's okay. Well, you'll be able to return time. Well, one of the brief accounts of while there were audience members here. And most of you know that Ben's been mind-greed for quite a while to not just create an unreal, but to save a significant piece of undeveloped downtown property. There's piece of property block from Sunset Avenue that in 1800's was not from work farm. But this is what is left of the original farm, but John at the work sold that farm in 1862 when he was elected to go to Raleigh to be state Treasurer and ultimately to turn governor in the state of North Carolina. So over the year of stamps it had changed hands a couple times, but the team of the career he properly has most of us remember it, the pastry arch of the McCurray Family of the Baudet and it is still an interior section of the lot mounted by a works street, Coch Street, Main Street and Academy Street and it consists of 3.1 acres. former Mayor David Gerald owned this property from the Macquarie family and owned it. And for quite a while I took every opportunity I had to, could Joel and Badger and any other word that you might want to associate with. with my efforts to get him to donate his property to the city, for a worthwhile preservation project. And ultimately came around him. He has donated, and we actually, see the actual dozen of the bulk of the property. One deed was 2.5 acres, and he did this for the city. We only bring clear known by David Bowling and Gerald and ultimately it's our dream to create a our great home this property to be just another quality of life and asked for the city of Nashville and Burantinville County. I think 20 years from now I'm putting a look around and say, well I wish we had saved more of our rural property. There he is, a lot of rural property right now for 20 or 30 years from now, most most of what we've gone. So I felt like this was a good opportunity and as such, I asked Man and John Rebels to head up a public campaign to raise some money to help us buy the .6 acres, which was a traditional track under a separate deed. And I'm here tonight to really break accounts on where we stand on that. We had a target date of the end of March as wrapping up that campaign. We do have some pledges still outstanding. We expect a few more to come in. Some actually after tax day April 15th. But at this point, we have 120 pledges, totaling $66,000. I was telling someone earlier tonight. We have over 120 pledges, many of them are $50 pledges, and $100 pledges, 200200,000, $500,000, and $500,000. I am as excited and gratified over the $50,000, $100 pledges or gifts. These are actually not pledges. They are actually gifts that we have in hand. And I'm gratified by those 50 and $100 gifts because they demonstrate that most everybody in town has a real feel for this project and excitement and see a value in this. No matter what your circumstance, I've gotten gifts for this product from people that didn't know that. And people that didn't know that $50 or $100 is considerable. So we're moving forward. We expect to bring action to the council first of June. Either a May or June Council meeting, bring a proposal for approval to purchase the property we expect to have the total piece of property under our control by July 1 and next year. I appreciate it. Everybody, and I cannot go any further with what I'm talking about. Jamie Beads over here from the Currier Tribune. Jamie has been involved in our efforts to pose sizes for the campaign from the very beginning. She's written a series of articles periodically highlighting progress and talking about the project and what my vision is, what our committee is, what our hopes and dreams are for the face of property. The last article was last week and it was a pretty neat little article because a grand dollar of Maccarrie Baker are toward the property with his Bob and Todd Donner. She toured the property with us and actually, and Jane actually talked about growing up on this person's property and her family, her family pent symmetry. And where they wrote their bicycle, where her grandparents, you should remember what her granddad did out there. They had gardens about the sites and a huge grape arbor. And it was just a really primed piece of property that it would have been really shamed to lose it to development. We were out there last weekend. There were about 15 of the original cherry trees still blooming at this point in the season. And the interesting thing about the cherry trees is they were gift from the Japanese back in the 30s, actually was buying silk from Japan and the company. They sent a couple of them in the cherry trees over here to be planning as a gift to the imperialists. And there are still some of those regent and the troops there. So the arguments are going to be a pretty special place. We see it as a history lesson for school kids from the Jonathan work aspect of the original farm and environmental and port of cultural lessons for school kids. We hope that there will be, it will be a nice period for outdoor weddings and all sorts of relaxation and meditation. That's where we are with the campaign. I appreciate each of you that have helped. It's not too late. If anybody wants to ride a check here. So to whom should we ride the check? Pardon? To whom should we ride the check? To the City of Ashboro, the attention Debbie reads, it will lead to the family. On the memo, you put Arbery on the ring project. It is a tax deductible donation to the City of Nashville. And you'll get a letter of receipt from the city. So in questions, I appreciate you allowing me to jump ahead because I didn't feel like, I really felt like that was a presentation that me be heard about this last year. So I appreciate you indulging me. And so now we'll get back to our agenda. And, Councillor, if you have a front-end, your consent agenda. Are there any items on the consent agenda that you would like to remove from individual discussion? Hearing none, I will entertain the motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Mayor, I move we approve the consent agenda as presented. Have a motion. Mr. Birx, do I have a second? Second. Second, Mr. Vail. And discussion. All the favor say aye. Aye. All opposed by time. Motion carries. Thank you. Mr. No. Agenna, item 10, a legislative hearing, which I will open on text amendments to the zoning ordinance concerning the maximum allowable for area ratio and supplementary requirements for multi-famous residential development. Thank you Mayor. This is a legislative matter before the council. So there is no need for sworn testimony for this item. I will remind the audience that if you do come to the podium to speak there is a book here for you to print your name so that the city clerk can accurately reflect your name and get the spelling correct in the minutes. But this is a request to amend the text of the city's zoning ordinance. It's treated in much the same way as a legislative rezoning request. This just happens to be a request to change the text instead of the map of the city's zoning code. Winfield Properties is the applicant on this request. Specifically, the application is to amend the city's zoning ordinance to establish a maximum of allowable floor area ratio, which is how we regulate multi-family density or intensity of development. And the request is to provide for a flora ratio of up to 43% for apartment projects within the R-A-6 which is the high density residential zoning district in the city and the O-A-6 office and apartment zoning district within the city's jurisdiction provided those projects meet certain development standards and also obtain a special use permit. So there's multiple steps involved with this application and project approval should this request be approved. I will note that a part of this application would provide for a open space ratio or a green space ratio at 40% for these type of projects in a recreational ratio at 6.6%. So those are things that are already on the books for our current multi-family projects here in the city where we mandate a certain percentage of the property that must remain green or undeveloped as well as a certain percentage that must be provided for recreational amenities for the residents and so this proposal includes those components as well. In general, floor area ratio is just what it sounds. It's a ratio of gross floor area to land area. And so it's generally looking at enclosed condition space that is used for habitation. So that's how we calculate floor area within the city's zoning ordinance. So things like open balconies, or porches are not considered and as part of floor area nor are open breezeways that are not intended for habitation. I will note that under the city's current zoning regulations we permit a floor area ratio currently of up to 22% with a special use permit. Now with that, those type of projects, there are no additional specific use standards that apply beyond the general four tests that you're familiar with with a special use permit. So under our current ordinance, a developer may request up to 22% floor air ratio and provided they meet the standard zoning requirements for parking and landscaping and they provide evidence of sufficient to pass the four standard tests. They are eligible for the permit. This application keeps the special use permit required but also imposes new development standards on the project. So just, without it, it would be helpful for illustration purposes just to talk about what an allowable floor area ratio of the 43 percent would look like. It's easy to use. Around numbers, 100,000 square foot lot would allow a total gross floor area of 43,000 square feet of residential dwelling space. And I want to make you aware that this cumulative gross floor area is allowed regardless of the number of stories in the structure. So it's not a footprint calculation. We look at the floor area on each floor if it's a multi-story structure Another thing to point out is within the city center city planning area We have special provisions in terms of how we regulate intensity for war high-density residential projects or apartment projects and that specifically looks at built upon area and projects and that specifically looks at built upon area and uses height restrictions as opposed to floor air ratio. So essentially we dictate how much undeveloped or pervious property you must retain within the center city planning area and outside of that you can cover the property with with structure. So and within the downtown area, the point is, it's handled a little bit differently under the city's zoning requirements. This would not change that. Again, the application includes, and I will go over these specific use standards for projects that are requesting this 43, up to 43% floor area ratio. These standards are provided and what would be new section 653 in Article 600 of the Ashboro Zoning Ordnance. To name a few of those standards, I will put them up on the screen here in a bit, but they include property access requirements, enhanced landscaping, elevated building design requirements above what we currently require, a requirement for storm water control to be mandatory as a part of the review process and increased recreational area or amenity, recreational amenities for the residents. As part of our review of the application, we frequently look to what we consider benchmark cities and others within our region to try to get an idea of how other jurisdictions are handling multi-family projects and densities. So up on the screen you will see various jurisdictions, some benchmarks, some that are not necessarily benchmarks but are ones within our region. To give you an idea of a apartment size of 900 square feet. So at an assumption of a typical apartment size of 900 square feet within Ashboro, under the maximum allowable density outside of the center city area, you'd be looking at 10.6 units per acre. Right above that would be the same calculation with a flurry ratio of up to 43 percent that would raise that volume units per acre up to 20.8 which in essence takes us from the most restrictive in terms of density to more middle of the road in terms of density. And above from there you'll see the other jurisdictions and their density allowances. So there are multiple elements with this request in order to amend the code to provide for this. Our table 200, one, which is on the left side of the screen, would be amended. And so in red and underlined, you would see this new category. And so if the request is approved tonight, this would be inserted into the code to establish a multifamily project subject to, special use permit standards and article 600 section 653 standards and you'll see a 43% maximum floor air ratio would be established 40% open space ratio 6.6 recreation ratio and those same provisions would carry into the OASix district as well and that would be an option also. Now the proposal does not take away or change the existing options that are out there for property owners. So the ordinance would retain the option for a 17% floor area ratio by right floor project as well as up to 22% floor area ratio for projects. I'm saying especially use permit but don't comply with these standards that are being proposed under this proposal. Likewise in table 200-2 which is the city's permitted use table. You would see a new use established, which is dwelling multiple families, multiple family units up to 43% floor area ratio. And you can see especially use permit within the RA6OA6 subject to section 653. So I talked about those standards that would come along with a project with this type of density and they are up on the screen and there's approximately a dozen of them. The first ones are given except as modified by these provisions, the rest of seek this this intensity would have to be from a minor thoroughfare or higher classification street. There would be a prohibition of parking within the first 25 feet of the required front yard, which would provide for more green space along the public travel space. Overflow parking for visitors should be provided at the ratio that we require for other projects within these zoning districts. We under the proposal and working with the applicant did recommend that the ordinance prohibit the parking and recreational vehicles, travel trailers, campers. This has been an issue that the city has dealt with in the past with multi-family projects. And so instead of requiring a place for these to be stored, if it's going to be, they can occur there, but has to be within enclosed structure. So there would be no provision to allow for that type of dead storage on a long-term basis within these type of projects. There is heightened landscaping requirements within the street yard for a project that would seek this permit. So there would be both canopy trees as well as evergreen shrubs required within the street yard That is Above and beyond what is required today for multi-family projects we proposal also offers a type D buffer a screen Which is the city's most stringent landscaping buffer or screen that we have, adjacent to single or two family uses or zoning districts. So if a project is proposed with this density and it abuts a residential zoning district or land use automatically a type D buffer then would be triggered for the project. There would be a requirement for foundation plantings, consistent of evergreen shrubs installed along the entire front foundation of each building. Again, this is meant to establish a minimum level of aesthetics for the projects. This is something that's new. We don't have this anywhere in the ordinance currently. In terms of building design standards for a project with this density, it essentially provides the same options for building material, but it except for the fact that it removes vinyl siding as an option. So in essence, you're looking at masonry type of projects for a floor air ratio project of up to 43%. So it is more restrictive in terms of building design materials than what is currently in the code. We, there are standards that speak to roof structure, which is 6.53.10. And importantly, we believe a requirement that mandates storm water control measures automatically for a project of this density. So, cities handle storm water controls kind of on a case by case basis with conditional special use permits as it stands now. This would automatically implement storm water control measures as a part of the project without any discretion from the applicant or the city. Minimum recreational ratio, because we're seeing a proposal to increase the amount of square footage for recreational amenities, the ordinance would allow both a mixture of indoor and outdoor amenities space. Currently, the code really looks for outdoor recreational amenity space for apartment projects. This would provide an option to camp Clubhouse space as part of your recreational amenity. And like we do with all multifamily projects, if we're a project that exceeded 75 units, would require an on-site full-time manager to be within an office on the property. So it's somewhat a mix of current standards and some additional standards for projects that would be requesting this level of density. So as we looked at the land development plan and considered what's reasonable and what we believe to be in the public interest Generally we find that there's three LDP goals that are tend to be supported towards the request or two that lean negative towards the request When we look at supportive goals Those are ones within the land development plan that promote properly cited well landscape and compact efficient land development that is close to or interconnected with supporting commercial services. Goals negative towards a request relate to a vision 20 years ago when the city's land development plan was drafted that really had place an emphasis on those higher densities being located within the center city area which we have done through other code amendments for the downtown area. So the proposal includes those development standards that are articulated. And we think it's important to point out that the City Council retains your ability to receive and consider public participation through the special use permit process under this ordinance. So it's our opinion that the ordinance amendment should result in developments with a far at this FAR at this level. To locate and appropriate places that are compatible with those land uses around them. with a FAR at this FAR at this level to locate in appropriate places that are compatible with those land uses around them and also provide convenient access to commercial services as well as adequate public infrastructure. So with that consideration, the staff brings us forward with a positive recommendation. The planning board took two meetings to review this case. Somewhat at our direction, mostly at our direction, so make sure that we were comfortable with the amendment. This Monday, they moved this unanimously to you with a recommendation to approve. So just like a rezoning case, there's two considerations before you, both consideration of the tax amendment, as well as consideration of the staff's consistency statement. And as I always point out, with regards to plans consistency, you are free to afford more or less wait to those specific land development goals that I've identified. And therefore, you may determine a request to be more or less consistent than the staff for the planning board did. So I'll be happy to answer any questions. The applicant is present also to take questions. Thank you, Mayor. Any questions? I must know. We're not going to appreciate you putting it together and working on several areas on the wrong list and some others points beyond. I think we're at the right level for our community and we need to give others a larger urban place, ramps and things and facilities and a lot of work and construction that that changes everything but for what I will park three stories is about it if we get in I'm HR Calabor with Remax Central Realty and I'd like to speak on behalf of the real-state community for just a moment. In finding properties for development, it's in the city density is allowed. I'll direct you to the Cherry Hooper Street sunset project done a few years ago by the group that's asking for this change. And while this change applies to everyone, the ability to find city projects have been more and more difficult. They're just not available. Ironically, Mayor, and I'm really glad you just jumped ahead to the Arborietam site. That site would qualify for high density apartments as the standard now stands. And because of the way things played out, now it's going to be saved. You've worked hard. Congratulations for your hard work. There aren't that many land masses within their city. Center City allows us kind of density for the most part today. We have sprawled our city, I think, as growing. We're beginning to move out as water sewer infrastructure moves out. And those folks become city properties. It will improve our tax base. It will improve shoppers goods are already moving out in various areas. This was destined to housing follows the shoppers goods. And we've had a number of requests this year, a number of folks looking, and there's just been very limited properties. Some of its topography, some of its just properties that need to be, and arguably, some of them need to be demowed and some, and that's what we did on us, what happened on Hoover and Sherry and sunset back in the day. It's hard to get 20 folks in a square box to all agree to sell and do the demolition and do a project like that. One of the things I'd like for you to look at in making this decision are the standards. I think that's your protective piece of that. The standards have been stepped up quite a bit. It takes out the folks who don't want to spend any money and do a really credible project. And if you keep your standards high enough, I think your density just happens to be a number that will take care of itself because it can't be the standards, it can't build a property. That's from the real estate community. That's right. That's right. So they work in conjunction. I really want to thank the city when we came to the staff and we came to them about proposed locations and talked to Ben John as well and talked about for ratios and density. It was important to kind of look at okay so if we do that and you open up the caveat for everyone we had better have a good standard to back that up and have good quality products. I think they've done that and making you guys aware of some of the standards that'll be necessary to build quality projects. And that's what we're looking for. I don't think anybody in this room, including myself and the real estate community is looking for anything but quality projects that will be here for years to come. I'll sign in. Come time. Okay. Thank you. Any questions for me? I'll be happy to answer. Thanks, sir. Appreciate it. Yes. Anyone else that you would like to address the council? Okay. Move to the delivery of fees and I will ask council for their direction. May it be based on the recommendation staff and assistant with their consistency statement. I move to the approval of the government and the assistant staff. Thank you Mr. Mayor. I will have a motion to include the text of the man that has been in the consistency statement. Do I have a second? Two seconds. Mr. Sleer's discussion. All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed. Motion carried. Okay. I lost my foot. We're going to the 10-beat. Yes, sir. I will open a quasi-judicial hearing for a combined hearing concerning property of OK at 41.1 on Highway 49 South. And this is a request to raise on the importance of the property of B2 to C U R A6. And that's for the issuance of commission you probably. Thank you, Mayor. As a reminder, this case is a quasi-judicial and as such, all speakers will need to be placed under oath before presenting testimony to the council. Now would be an appropriate time for speakers to step forward and be placed under a. If there's anyone in the room that plans to address the council on this request, please come up and be sworn. That does not include anyone else that changes from besides to speak after they hear other speak, you can come up and be sworn at that time if you decide to. The applicant on this request is also wind field properties and this is a rezoning and conditional use permit request pertaining to 481 North Carolina Highway 49 South. Specifically the request is to rezone the property from B2 general commercial to the conditional use R.A.6 zoning district, which is our high density residential zoning district. There is also a corresponding request for a multi-family project with flora area ratio of up to 43% being requested in conjunction with this rezoning. There are two Randolph County tax parcel numbers associated with the request. We're looking at just over four acres in size. Currently, there's a single family dwelling on the property. We look at an overview map of the area. The two parcels are outlined in blue. I'll zoom in just a little closer for you to see the shape of the property as well as surrounding zoning. On the south side, predominantly we see B2 commercial zoning along the highway 49 corridor. On the north side of the property you have that purple color is industrial zoning. That is a location of Ashboro Animal Hospital as well as Piedmont Custom Meets Industrial Operation on the north side of Highway 49. To the east that commercials zoning is contains West Point Village Shopping Center. And then to the southeast, you'll see that CURA 6 zoning, which is the same district being requested here this evening. That is West Point apartments. And then as you move further west and away from the city, immediately to the west we have a non-conforming residential use on commercial-leazone property and as we move away further west you see that commercial zone and continue. Terms of topography on the site. There is a drainage feature kind of begins at the rear of the property. So there are some slope to the southern portion of the property, but in general there is a pretty significant amount of buildable area for the property. This is an aerial photo from several years ago, but it does give you an idea of what is surrounding the two parcels proposed for resigning. We have a few photos here. the two parcels proposed for resigning. We have a few photos here. This is a view of the existing structure from Highway 49. This is looking northeast along Highway 49 South. Then we have a view looking southwest along the highway. So as we look at the rezoning component of this request, we'll note that this property is in the city limits and served by the full array of city services. North Carolina 49 is state maintained. It is classified as a major thoroughfare. The zoning ordinances description of the RA6 district is one intended to produce a high intensity of residential uses in close proximity to major nodes of non-residential development and it goes on from there. We'll note the area is characterized by a mix of commercial industrial as well as residential uses which include a multi-family residential development to the southeast, consisting of 216 dwelling units. When we look at the land development plans proposed land use map for guidance on these zoning, the plan does recognize the existing commercial zoning on the property. So the map depicts the subject parcel for commercial development, grow strategy map depicts it as primary growth area, which is really given the highest priority for appropriate land development. Because we look further into the land development plan for goals and objectives to find support or opposition toward the request, we tend to believe that there's four goals and policies that support the request. The property's location fits the zoning district's description. The request is compliant with the growth strategy map. And there's really few environmental features present that would discourage development of the property. In terms of goals and policies and maybe negative towards the request obviously the proposed land use map recommends commercial development with a property picking up on that existing zoning so we do have to point that out. And there are minimal steep slopes on the property to the south which should not really have a huge impact on any land development on the property to the south, which should not really have a huge impact on any land development on the property. So taking all factors in consideration and considering what's reasonable in public interest, we do note that the property is in close proximity to another significant multifamily residential use, as well as complementary commercial development. So it's our belief that this immediacy supports the land development plans objective of locating these higher density residential uses in close proximity to supportive non-residential development. We'll also note that as a part of this matter, the conditional use permitting process is in play and obviously can help ensure that the property develops in a manner consistent with the land development plans, urban residential description, which does include design features that promote walkability and harmony with surrounding land uses. So I have distributed copies of the applicant's site plan quickly run through some of those details. This is a request for an apartment or multi-family project consisting of a total of 72 residential units. There is one entrance from North Carolina Highway 49 proposed. Again, this is a state-, major thoroughfare. We have received some feedback from Department of Transportation that does indicate that there will not be a requirement for a traffic signal at the location. However, there likely will be some restriping of Highway 49 that may be required. That would be the obligation of the developer. The state has also indicated if you'll note along the frontage of the property of the developer. The state has also indicated if you'll note along the frontage of the property, even though it's not required because of the lack of curve and gutter along the frontage on 49. The applicant is proposing a sidewalk that would connect to the commercial property, most importantly to the east, which is the Chaffin Center property. And the state has said we're going to have to look at that a little more closely due to the absence of term gutter on the highway but we do think that's something that can be worked out. The project consists of two three-story residential structures as well as an office and clubhouse and there's outdoor recreation area provided as well for the residents use. During a planning board meeting there was some discussion about potential school impacts, so we did reach out to Ashboro City school staff who expressed no concerns related to capacity and the projects impact. So up on the screen is what you all have before you the project site plan. You can see the location of the two three-story structures towards the south and east side of the property. As you enter the property, there would be a sense of courtyard area that would contain the clubhouse recreational amenities and then parking around that. These are the proposed building elevations for the residential units. And there's details provided as well on the clubhouse. So as a part of the your conditionally used permit deliberations, we do offer suggested conditions that should you find appropriate to reason the property and hear evidence sufficient to issue the permit. We would suggest that these conditions be attached to any permit that's issued. I'll briefly run through these. These really provide for some flexibility intended to provide for some flexibility for additional connections that make sense to a joining commercial property. So if there happens to be a trail, a walking path that can be incorporated in a different location to connect residents over to the shopping center, I don't know that that's a case, but if it is the case, then we'd like for that opportunity to be explored. Obviously the sidewalk location may change from where it's put on the site plan so these conditions are intended to reflect that. There may be a need for additional dumpster, additional dumpster to for the project. So provided that those are appropriately cited and reviewed by the city, we'd ask that that flexibility we offered. There is some additional detailing and labeling on that protected landscaping that we've talked to the applicant about. So we'd ask for just an updated site plan to reflect those things. We'll point out we still would be looking for DOT drive-by permit and crochetment agreement for when you sidewalk within the right away. Obviously a residential control approval, as well as some details on outdoor lighting for the project that's proposed to ensure compliance with the city's zoning ordinance. for the project that's proposed to ensure compliance with the city's zoning warden. We will also ask for a plat to be submitted, which would identify easements to be granted to the city that are necessary for maintenance of public infrastructure, namely water lines that are serving fire hydrants that we expect to be serviceable for fire protection. And then lastly, the standard recordation of land use restrictions to be signed and executed by the property owner. So in light of all that in terms of the rezoning, we do believe the request is supported sufficiently by the land development plan plan both the staff and the planning board bring this to council with a positive recommendation for approval. There's my caveat concerning plain consistency and as we always do there is findings necessary for the issuance of the permit component of this. So those findings are up on the screen. I will note that the staff has worked with the applicant to ensure the site plan meets the city zoning requirements, including new section 653, which you just adopted. So the plan has been reviewed in anticipation that that may be authorized tonight. So we do report the plan meets those required conditions. I also report that the staff did do the proper mailing to joining property owners as well as publication in the career Tribune concerning this matter. So that does conclude my remarks mayor and I'll be happy to answer any questions. Good morning. Good morning. I'm Chair of the Board of Justice. I'm just confused about the 133. Right. The record calculation. Is that pertains to the recreational area, I believe? Yes. Yes. Is that that pertains to the recreational area I believe? Yes. So we don't think the site plan accurately gives credit for all the recreation area that's out there on the plan. There seems to be less credit given for the recreation area that's being provided. So there is more, yeah, there's clearly more than enough what we consider to be recreationary. We would just ask for that plan to reflect the accurate square footage. Yeah. Thank you. Good job. I would be addressing the council on the findings of fact? Good afternoon, Mr. Mayor and council members. My name is Davis Ray with Winfield Properties. It's kind of hard to follow the detail provided by planning staff but I'm going to do my best and try not to go into too much of what you've already heard. Again, Davis Ray with wind field properties located in Jamestown, North Carolina. Just to give you guys a little bit of background, we are the developer builder and managing agent for two properties here in Ashpur as sunset place apartments and Sherwood place apartments. We are requesting to rezone the property mentioned in Planning's report to accommodate the 72 unit multi-family development that we have designed. Again, we are local development construction management firm located in Jamestown. We only work in the state of North Carolina. We currently have 67 properties in our management portfolio with 19 additional properties under construction. In the past five years, we have developed, built, or took on property management for over 30 deals in communities such as Ashboro High Point, Canapalus, Mount Erie, and Wilkesboro to name a few. Our construction design uses only brick and hardy plank sighting with broken roof lines and architectural details which expand on our 45 years in the construction industry. These items are detailed in our plans. Moving over to the findings of fact in the four tests for the special use permit, test number one that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety of located where proposed and developed according to the site plan has submitted and approved. This site is within close proximity to other multi-family communities. One being ours off of Sherwood Avenue. Our plan for a transitional use of multi-family housing will provide high quality housing to the citizens and families of Ashboro. As we move forward with the development of our proposal, we will comply with all requirements set forth by the City of Ashboro, Randolph County, North Carolina, Department of Transportation, any other additional organizations and or departments. Should any additional action, such as traffic improvements for mitigation design requirement need to be made, we would hear to those requirements. One thing that I will address on the safety is the addition of the sidewalk. A lot of our sites that that we select and that we look at for development do incorporate the walk ability to life amenities whether it be a grocery store or pharmacy, a restaurant, a bank, any of those things that you typically every one of this need. And having the access right there beside us, we feel like this site would be doing a disservice to our tenants by not including a sidewalk and we feel like it is a safer option. And as mentioned in the staff report, we will comply with Department of Transportation to place that sidewalk where it is needed. Number two, the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Ashburts' only ordinance as pointing out by Trevor and his remarks. Our previous application was regarding the tax amendment we were asking for some additions and details be added to not only our proposal but additional proposals in the future which we feel are the best interest of the property owners as well as the city of Ashbrook. Once we make it to the permitting stages we will work with all necessary departments to confirm and abide by the regulations and specifications set forth in the zoning orders. Moving to number three, the use will not substantially injure a value of adjoining or abutting property owners that or that the use is a public necessity. The first thing that comes to mind when I read this statement is sunset place apartments. Look at it, where that particular property was, and the surrounding uses at the time, prior to development, and then looking at it today, we feel like that kind of answers that point for us. And then finally number four, that the location and character of the uses developed according to the plan submitted and approved in harmony with the area, which is to be located in general conformity with the plan of development of Ashborough. Our community location and design will be in harmony with the area. Our apartments will be a dynamic addition to the community and meet the general conformity of Ashborough's future development goals. Our use along with its quality materials used in architectural character should have a positive impact and service great transitional use in this location. As mentioned, there are multiple multifamily communities in close proximity to the subject property. Being situated on a state highway, our potential residents would have access to a wide range of local businesses as well as being easily accessible to the current traffic patterns. This also shown as evidence in our two previous development, situated in Ashboro, both developments are situated in different neighborhood types, but have become natural fit and in harmony with the other land uses. So with that being said, I will take questions if there are any. Thank you, would you like? I'll have another question. I'll have a question. I think you have suggested conditions for both of us. We worked together and we knew that what we were proposing in the previous case was, you know, was a lot to ask, but we also wanted to make sure that we built and we incorporated those standards based on what we do and and we've we've worked with The planning department feel like the standards are or nothing outside of what we would typically do Yes Yes Yes. Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, sir. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's all. Any other questions? Thanks, sir. Thank you. Did anyone else in the audience have a lecture to address the council regarding this request? Here in the minute, we will move to delivery of banks. Thank you Mayor. I did neglect to put the last slide off but it does outline the various decisions before we have tonight so we have obviously the rezoning as well as the consistency statement for consideration and the conditional use permit. That's right. Separate action. Yes sir. Yes. Council, what do you wish is regarding the reason? Mayor Henry Staff recognition. the Mr. Well we have a motion to approve the rezoning and the consistency statement stamp consistency statement do I have a second second second Mr. Burke's discussion on the favor set up all opposed motion carries All right. All opposed? Motion carries. What is your council? What are your thoughts on the condition of use permit? Where I'm most likely to put the condition of use permit, the applicant is accepting the conditions. Is that why I'm so sure? We have a motion by Mr. Mockett to approve the issue of the condition used for me. Do I have a second? A second. Where was that? Hey, Mr. Works. Thank you, sir. Any discussion? How long did it look and brought? Yeah, yeah. I like all the pants the hands to the entrance. A bit mishelied out there. All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed. All from carries. Mr. Rae, where are you? We're very thankful for your interest in our team. We look forward to working with you. And just brought you to the grass. We're going to make early a way to pay you a bill. Have a great end of it. We're going to do our best. I'm going to appreciate Steve Stath, Councillor Gauley, and appreciate being here. I just want to continue to grow with that. Thank you, sir. Give this screen to the 20th person here. Okay, I will open a legislative hearing of the application management for a resummon of property at the 1644, 1702 and 1712, North Bay will strip. Thank you, Mayor. This is a request filed by the property owner, Balfour Baptist Church for those three street addresses to rezone the portions of their property that are currently zoned R10 and R6 to office and institutional. We do have three Randolph County parcel numbers involved in this request just over six acres in size. Currently the church is the land use on all three parcels. We do have a zoning map that gives you an idea of the zoning within the area, the yellow courses, residential zoning within the city, the red, you'll see the commercial corridor on both sides of Fayetteville Street. As we zoom in a little closer, you'll see to the north there that office and institutional ONI designation, which is again what's being requested here by the applicant, is the Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue Property. So you can see the, Church's property straddles Bailey Street and along North Fable Street, it's presently, the property presently is owned B2 General Commercial. That portion of the property is not up for consideration this evening. They would retain that commercial designation. It's only the portions that are yellow and a very small piece of orange that is RA6 towards the south and east of the purple blob up on the screen. That is subject to the application here this evening. This gives you an idea of the lay of the land which is largely not very significant in terms of environmental features. We do have services throughout the area and the church does receive those services. Again, this gives you maybe a better idea of the area in the church does receive those services Again, this gives you maybe a better idea of the portions of the property that are zoned our 10 and r a six at the church Requests that you place in the office and institutional zoning district Of several photos. This is 1644 North Fable Street. This is looking at 1644 as well as 1702 North Fable Street as seen from East Bailey Street. This is the parking lot at 417.02 North Fable Street, again from East Bailey Street looking west. This is also a parcel involved in the request, 1712 North Fable Street. This is a view looking east along East Bailey Street. Subject property would be at the right there. We have a shot looking north along East Bayley Street, subject property would be at the right there. We have a shot looking north along North Bay of the street, the commercial corridor, as well as back south. This is the residential neighborhood of a pineal court, which the property is on the left side of the screen directly but the church's property. As we move into the analysis here, again the properties in the city limits, North Fable Street is state maintained as a major thoroughfare. The city maintains East Bailey Street, as a local street. Again, we're only looking at the portion of the property that is our tenant RA6 for rezoning. If you look at the zoning ordinance's description of that office and institutional district, it's intended to produce moderate intensity office and institutional development to serve adjacent residential areas and it goes on from there. Point out that the church on the property records indicate approximately 1950. There was 1702 that appears was added in the mid 1960s and 1712 a decade later. We'll point out a place of worship or church is permitted by right in this zoning district as long with other permitted uses. So again, with this being a straight rezoning request, we need to consider other land uses that may develop in that, oh, an I district and verify that those would be appropriate. those would be medical professional schools, cultural centers, light service uses such as Harris Lawns. Those are the type of businesses that could be established in the ONI district as well as the church. We'll point out that a church land use can occur in a residential zoning district, but the ordinance does place extra regulations on those land uses and especially use permit provisions. So there are some limiting factors for churches that are within residential zoning districts that sometimes can impact their ability to grow. So this would be an effort to remove some of those obstacles. Majority of the property, as I said, is developed with structures and or parking. The majority of the property at 1712 is undeveloped. So when we look at the proposed land use map for some guidance here, there's both the commercial and the neighborhood residential district, which is not surprising because it's recognizing the existing conditions and recommending the status quo be maintained. Primary growth strategy areas within the city limits and appropriate for compatible development. Seven goals and policies we believe tend to be supportive of the request. The only one that's negative is going to be that recommendation for neighborhood residential land use on the property. The plan did not envision extending non-residential zoning eastward on the full property, but that is one of many goals that we consider. So, and looking at what's reasonable and in the public's interest, we'll note that the land development plan directly supports some extension of the commercial zoning on the property just not in its entirety. Further, the established use of each of these properties, if you read the description of the ONI district, is consistent with those land uses, it's consistent with that designation. And there are surrounding uses into this city, such as school, emergency public use facility, other places of worship that really make this ONI district an appropriate designation in the staff's opinion. The ONI district can also serve as an effective transition between B2 zoning, which we find along the Fable Street corridor and the significant residential neighborhoods that you'll find as you move east away from that corridor. So there are some residential properties that directly but the parcel ends in 7364 but we do believe there's a limited number of non-residential uses within that ONI district combined with the ordinance standard requirements for landscaping within the ONI district I really do help to mitigate any concerns over adverse impacts on adjoining properties. So for those reasons about the staff and the planning board, I do recommend approval of this request. I will report to the council of staff, did mail, letter to joining property owners, as required by law. And notice of this hearing was published in the career tribute and as required as well. That concludes my remarks mayor I'll be happy to answer any questions. Questions? Thank you Mr. No. And, uh, if you want an audience who would like to address the Council regarding this request. So, I have to come. Anybody from the church? Come ahead, Roger. You will print your name in the book and state your name for the record. your pressure. So I can say I was here. Thank you. I would just simply like to say that we appreciate very much the efforts of the planning board and Trevor and John and Brad in the presentation that they made on behalf of our request to zone to rezone from residential to office and institutional. Our church is currently entering into a growth phase and we're blessed in that regard and we think that O and I would be a very compatible type of zoning in order to give us the flexibility to to expand and growth and for example at educational facilities or additional worship facilities and this type of thing. But I would also say that I think the O and I designation, if you look at the immediate area around us, is very compatible with the types of facilities that are already in existence in that section of North Fable Street. But we'd be happy to answer any questions. Our pastor Gary Mason is here and also Andy Smith. Any questions? Any questions? Thank you, sir. I will say that I personally believe your church is blessed to have Gary Mason as your minister. You've got to find out for us as police chief. Okay. Anyone else in the audience would like to address the council regarding this request Okay, here none will move to deliberation and I will ask the council for their thoughts on this request Mayor based on staff recommendation the state and the state and the board and I will move the approval of the amendment and the staff consistency. Thank you, Mr. Bell. We have a motion by Mr. Bell to approve the text amendment and approve the staff consistency statement. Any, do I have a second? Second? Second, Mr. Swearer's, any discussion? All the better say aye. All opposed? Motion carries. Thank you very much. Mr. No, item D, 10D is provided. And I'll stand for a view of our two-loader to the gentleman's board. Very briefly, Mayor. The council had discussion at the year December meeting in reference to this permitted use table and situations that have arose other places as a result of uses that may be permitted by right that perhaps should warn some additional scrutiny. So we did examine Article 200, your table permitted uses, to identify what we believed at least to be any potential uses that are presently permitted by right that perhaps could warn some additional scrutiny by the council. I really do to the potential for adverse community impacts. I'm not certain that really any of these are particularly there's great risk associated with them but I do think they met the criteria as potentially ones we wanted you to be aware were in there. And specifically, I think rightly so, the zoning ordinance is very flexible as it relates to agricultural uses. And thus, we do permit those operations in all residential districts by right. You know, if you read what that could consist of, I think it's the potential maybe for some heavy livestock production operation, which could be incompatible with residential zoning district descriptions. We haven't really encountered that per se, but that is something that, especially on smaller properties, you could potentially have some conflict. I do think there's some city code protections that are already in place that probably mitigate some of that. The second one, as we reviewed the uses, are for what are referred to as clean material landfills, which are permitted by Wright in the I-1 and I-2 zone districts and there are no additional development standards beyond the customary parking and landscaping buffering requirements. So that was one we felt like we should point out some places do impose development standards on these type of clean-up or a nerf debris, landfills that address how large they can be, how long they can be in operation, where can they be located in addition to being industrially zoned, they have to be direct access to a major thoroughfare for instance. So those, the type of considerations that we would pursue a you felt that that was something to investigate. Lastly, somewhat surprised to see this in the ordinance, but the application of sludge is permitted by right in the majority of the city's zoning districts. And this very well maybe is a result of some court cases, or maybe perhaps some state preemption. We haven't done all the research on it. There are state rules that pertain to application of municipal wastewater sludge. Could probably refer to Mr. Roni. There's no definition that says what this sludge application is. It is allowed in all residential zoning districts. I fully believe there's other environmental rules beyond the cities that would probably address this. But again, it's one of those things that when we pulled the table and just looking at what's permitted, uncertainty. Uncertain. But. I don't know if you are a go-go basket. You can move that. In any event. As I said, I don't think that any of these are particularly dangerous. But we're happy to take direction from council and pursue. You know, pursue any amendment you deem appropriate. So thank you Mayor. All questions. Okay. Thank you. Good job. Thank you, Jay. Would the slides have to come from us? No, it could come from a septic pump and come from it. That's some of that. The Sarge sludge is do have high level of Haiti metals, etc. And I'm going to be back to the broad term of sludge here. There are some very fond definitions in your better sludge. That's your bigger risk than just for you upset the United States. So there are. If you like us to pursue that the sludge you use. And the other thing I'd say is, I would encourage council to, we provided just a few pages that you permitted use table would be, you may have different opinions than staff on what would you, maybe concerned about in that order. So I'd encourage council just to, it is online, table 200-2. You could look at all the various uses and what's permitted by right. And we'll be happy to look at any of them but we will we will pursue the sludge Further and I will say is there's a state possibility We won't do anything we need to do anything the sludge because that's highly regulated Right and we we tend to track avoid Intruding in state regulatory fields. I really think it's going to be emptied and that's possible and treating state regulatory fields. I really think it's been preempted. And that's possible. I just thought about that. It just, and I could perceive perhaps, maybe we try to clarify what this is, maybe a definition I think would perhaps be in improvement, but otherwise let the higher regulations apply. Thank you, sir. Thanks, sir. Thank you. Before we move into the public comment period, I would like to recognize that we have a counter-commissioner in the audience tonight. I hope they would. And I want to say I appreciate your moving forward with the request to move into a We went to a place one of the ads and we see that as being an insane economic engine, which eventually give the whole thing built. So taking the step you guys took the other night is a good positive move in the right direction. I'm talking about their approval to allow the county to ask for $10 million in state funding to help pay for one of the eggs. So, good luck. And now we have fights for the people who raise livestock. That is the right way to go. All right. This is the appointed town for the coming of periods. Is anyone in the audience that would like to address the count on any items of city business or concern? And let's address it. Nobody left in the audience except for missionaries. Everybody else is staff. Here you go, we'll move on to item 12, a call on Michael Rowling, our water resources director. Redo to the executive. No. I know enough. Good evening, Mayor and members of the council. On March 12, the city received bids from qualified firms to enter into a requirements contract for the purchase of chemicals necessary for operations at the water treatment plant, the wastewater treatment plant, and chemicals necessary for odor control at some lift stations. A total of 15 suppliers bid on seven chemicals the city currently needs. You have a copy of the bit tabulations in your package as well as a bit summary that recommends entering into a requirements contract for these purchases. With that you have elistic chemicals there I will unless you ask me to I will not bother to read through that elistic chemicals. I will be glad to entertain any questions you have pertaining to these bids received. Not one company got to the chemical. No, it happens sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed that very few of them are being more than one or two of them. Correct, that's very true. Most of these companies specialize in a particular chemical. So, and really I can say there was no shock in any of these bids. We're pretty much maintaining status quo. Some increase, some decrease, or balance out. Yes. What was the last column at? Oh, we had an adentim. Yes. So they all acknowledge the adentim. Okay. All right. If there are any questions I would like to recommend that Council approves entering into a requirements contract for the purchase of these chemicals from the dates of August 16th, 2019, ending August 15th, 2020, for the companies listed and the at the unit prices listed. Approval to enter to the contract. The move. Got a motion by Mr. Mock at the approval of the recommendation. Second. I'll second. Mr. Berks, the next second. Any discussion? All the further say aye. Aye. All opposed. Thank you. Mr. Sherman. Actually run the first one, Mr. Mayor. Hey, Jody. I have a 13A, it's a thousand 19th operational days and hour special events for the farmers market. Good evening, Council. Good to see all of you this evening. I had an opportunity to meet with the vendors of the downtown farmers market uh... this past week uh... on speaking with them we came up with the following dates for the farmers market for the upcoming season uh... the only pre-market day this season will be saturday april 27th uh... the lateness of the Easter holiday and each weekend and effect on that obviously uh... so saturday april 27th will be a pre-market day. Regularly scheduled market events will begin on Thursday, May 2nd, and it will maintain its normal schedule after that. As you can see on the slide there, there are a couple of special events. These are very popular events at the market and we schedule these annually. The Strawberry Day will be Saturday, May 18thth and Peach Day will be Saturday July 27th. Do you guys have any questions that I can hope to answer about the market for this year? Questions? The vendors have you in the board at the scene you've done? Seems like they're ready to get started. Questions? The benders have been in the board. Do the seating zones. Seems like they're ready to get started. I think some of them have been affected by the wet weather. And they're maybe not happy with their yield so far, but they're they're raring to go as usual. And seem to be looking forward to it. And snow too. And it's amazing. And rain tomorrow. And it's. More rain tomorrow. That's amazing. It rained tomorrow. An inch. That's right. More rain tomorrow. Oh, thank you. Oh, yes sir. OK, I am 13 B. You want to request approval for the morning. So then we have our full one involving rain cards. That is correct. We have done a research into our current red card and as you guys know, the red card as it's currently used or current usage is for city residents only. It is our hope to streamline and maybe make less complicated that process. We're going to update and simplify some of the qualifications as well as the parent and guardian relationship and we'll clarify that a little bit with this amendment to this article here. We would also like to increase the validity or the length of the red card from one year to two. And we also would like to allow for an opportunity for a non-resident to purchase a red card. As you guys are aware, the red card currently is for city, city residents only, and it is free. We would like to offer it to a non-city resident, but at a fee. We have found, upon doing doing some research that there are several rec departments within our specifically something more county in other places that offer this type of rec card to the non-resident and it is a nice revenue stream for these departments as well and it offers as well some amenities for some folks that wouldn't ordinarily have that opportunity. As you can see on the slide we will adjust some of the qualifications for the senior RIT card as well. The main difference there we plan to reduce the qualifying age from 62 down to 50. That age actually coinc- Where does it go? There you go. That age 50 actually coincides with several national organizations and what they deem the age for a senior. Specifically, ARP as well as the national level of senior games as well as the state level and our local games can consider a 50-year-old eligible participant in senior games. So this will bring us in line there with those other organizations. And again, the non-resident's opportunity will exist there as well. The non-resident's using that. So, certainly, so he's paying a pay of $80. Yes, sir, they do. It is a... They continue if we were to approve the purchase of an opportunity, purchase a non-resident, and card. Most of the space would stay in place. As for these remaining place, for example, a city resident currently pays $30 to register a child for a sport. A non-city resident pays $50. This will give the non-city resident the opportunity to purchase the red card at a fee and then pay the city resident rate as they move forward. And there are some other discounts at other places. Golf Course is joining for them. Sir. You're the one who's going to be here. So a member of the county is here. Let's ask them. Any questions, Joe? Have you decided the fee you just keep saying a fee? A fee, yes, sir, I'm sorry. Plan to make the non-resident red card fee $50. That would be, and then I apologize. I didn't mean far enough, that's the problem. That would, of course, be in every other year fee. If you guys approve the two-year term of the red card. If you guys approve the two-year term of the red card. Okay, other questions? Yes sir. Thank you. One of the way up. I hope so. What do you thought, Council? There are many of the food we don't have. I mean the service department. I have a motion by Mr. Bell to approve the recommendation of the cultural and recreational services staff. Do I have a second? Good. Thank you, Mr. Swerves. Any questions? Thank you, Mr. Swerves. Questions, discussion. I want to favor say aye. All vote. Motion carries. Thank you. Appreciate you guys being here tonight. Mr. Swerves, I am part team. Consideration ordinal designed to address requests or additional alcohol beverage options at the regional airport and the sunset there. And with your permission, Mr. Mayor, I'll combine the discussion to two, but I think each issue helps inform the other and when we get to the end, we'll separate them with two votes. I think the best way to think of this is to start with the airport, in particular the aviation museum in all the fame. By the way, as an attorney, I enjoy having the horn at the same time as getting more wiggle ring. I didn't really say that with the right equipment on the hall trying to speak up. The aviation museum is an issue that pertains to possession and consumption and it relates to aligning this local ordinance to allow the intermoved government to permit they already are in line to receive from the alcoholic beverage control commission. The general rule given the ordinances that are in place in Ash Road is that you can't possess, work and sue, and we're talking about the purpose of our discussion. I say alcoholic beverages here. We're talking about unfortified wine and malt beverages, which you can't possess or consume on the state, excuse me, on the city owned property of the rights way, unless there's an exception. And you've passed along a way different exceptions. Some of them are taken to the creative ballpark. There's already an exception for sunset. The Aitor, by Centennial Park, as far as possession and consumption. The airport has never been included in that. In order to address that issue, and the request has come up is the aviation museum and Hall of Fame as a nonprofit corporation they're using events and they include the sale of alcoholic beverages like I said Bar Provinces, unfortified wine and malt beverages to raise money. They can get a permit and be perfectly legal to do that from the North Carolina Alcoholic Barbarian Control Commission, a special one-time permit available to nonprofit corporations. The issue before you tonight is if you're interested in amending the code of Ashboro to allow the possession and consumption, which obviously goes along with the sale on their premises. So to address that issue in front of you, there's an ordinance amending section 130.03 of the code. In essence, it's adding the exception for the Ashford Regional Airport, but it is a limited exception in that it's worth guessing. It doesn't try to limit which event it just says events, all the premises of the North Carolina Aviation Museum in Hall of Fame. And it also aligns that by saying that those events have to be in compliance with the rules and regulations adopted by the Ashbrook Airport Authority. And their rules and regulations are part of the Code of Ashbrook, they're incorporated by you into the code provisions. And the reason I like it, I'm finding the discussion is a thing because it leads to the next point. Bottom line, the adoption of that ordinance. And there are some things that in ordinance two, it shows that I don't have enough of a lie, because there's some other areas where I found some commons that I wanted them to be, and other sanctions, so there are some clerical amendments, and therefore we were at it. But if you go out there, that takes care of the possession and consumption. This limit is just to the premises of the airport, the aviation museum, and all the things. And they are non-profits, so it takes care of all of that. The reason the change in that ordinance, and that would be effective on adoption tonight. The reason for that change in talking about the rules and regulations is they being the museum, they can get a permit from the alcoholic beverage control commission because they can control, pursuant to a lease agreement with the city of their premises. The city can expect, therefore, authority can have rules and regulations, but it's still a lease to them, and they are in charge. And the way permits are set up under the alcoholic beverage control laws, it looks at the location and who's in charge of the location. They attach a copy of their lease agreement with the city for those specific two handers. And they can go through and show there are non-profit lay out their service areas where they're going to set up for consumption. With the diagram, they're okay. How about there's no commission to look at it and then forward. That leads to the second issue, the sunset theater. We've had a discussion at the last meeting when you directed me to work on it. I went into it concerned about how to deal with the permit being in the name of the city of Ashboro for sunset theater. Our difficulty was that unlike the existing lease for the aviation museum in Hall of Fame, under the current setup, individuals renting the theater, they don't have any real control. That subject to someone from the cultural and wreck being there, monitoring the whole time, and they may even, and I mean this in a positive way, not particularly. They may double look, not causing inconvenience, but they can do one thing at one time and bring in another group, doing within the same day. That one group doesn't have control. They can't get, even if it's a nonprofit, under that arrangement, they can't get the permit they need. The concern and risk management perspective that I have in others within the city government is then the only way the city itself, given the size of the theater, that's not an athletic facility and all the other, there are multiple permits out there. Given the facts of our situation, the city would have to apply as the retail business to obtain an on-premise permit. If the city obtains that on-premise permit from a risk management perspective, I'm greatly concerned because that's not limited to the particular event where the city has sanctioned the sale of alcoholic beverages. That permit's gonna be an effect, and the city's gonna be responsible just like any other old premise permit holder. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So even at events where the city has not approved the sale of alcoholic beverages, if someone unbeknownst to the city brings in a bottle and engages in an activity that they shouldn't engage in involving an alcoholic beverage, not only does the city need to deal with that individual or individuals, the city itself will be subject to investigation by ALE for not maintaining control of their premises as a permity in that context. There also is the operational control issue because if the city is as a retail business, there again, permit looks to location and who's in charge of the location. If the city is trying to function as a retail business on when we can get that permit, we end up having to worry about complying with all the buying from the wholesale rules, keeping up with our personnel and the taxes, recycling, housing, operations being conducted with all those administrative risks. So I hope you don't mind. The focus at that point, trying to limit the exposed risk exposure and still attain the goal of working with the theatrical production companies, in particular, primarily, and possibly others that qualify. I spoke at length with different individuals. I want to give a lot of credit to Rodney Johnson, the General Manager for the look of ABC Board. He was extremely helpful, very gracious, and helping facilitate communications with the alcoholic beverage control commissions, permitting people. The result of those discussions is that if you would like to, and what's in front of you, trust implement this, rather than the city holding the permit as an on-premise, a premiti, a retail business, is to change the way that we are changing course in our last discussion, is to change our own rental agreements so that, and this was based on discussions with the ABC Commission, but they will accept, or everyone seems to be in agreement with them except, is to give control to those nonprofit organizations as renters of the premises during the event. And the other concern that was definitely what I think would be your concern is definitely my concern was are they going they being the permitting officials are they going to make a group obtain a permit for each night or each performance when it says a one-time event when you look at the application form it gives the option for herendetic S after dates for multiple dates for the event. So at the end of the day, if we set it up to where there's a begin time and an end time and let's say it's over two week period for a particular production, if that rim will agree with covers that entire town span, that's good for one event, for one permit, which is 50 bucks, for the nonprofit organization to apply for. They in turn just, we're going back to the airport example. They would do the same thing under those circumstances as what the aviation museum in Hall of Fame does in Arcending. And that is they get their documentation to show their nonprofit. They get their diagram, which one where they're going to set up at. And they got it and they attach their copy of their lease agreement or a rental agreement in the case of the sunset theater. And they do they don't get hung up at the A.V. commission about versus lease versus rental. What we have to do at that point, make that work for them is one, be agreed, agreeable not to double-looking. You should not use the facility during that time period when they're having a production except for their production. Have great conversations with the recreation services director and Mr. Hyburn, they're willing operationally to do that. Particularly to do that rather than trying to worry about pointing a manager as a retail business and then being charged or trying to keep up with inventory of beverages and train personnel. So they're willing not to double book, they're willing to give control over them. The ordinance is in front of you, which ultimately I'm going to, if this policy choice is agreeable with you, I'm going to, if this policy choice is agreeable, if you're going to recommend it to adopt, sets up an arrangement to where in the cultural and wreck services manual, there is one section that is, if you want to rent the theater for events that do not involve the sale of alcoholic beverages. If you do that, your choice. If you do that, you're basically doing exactly what's been done, bleeding up to now. Nothing's different. If you go with the option as a nonprofit, you have to be a nonprofit, qualify for this. If you want to rent it for an event that does involve the sale of alcoholic beverages, the city will use a different rental form. Different agreement go under a different section in the manual. That agreement basically gives you and says you are in sole control of the event. Subject to inspections. And that's one thing I was able to make sure we're okay on. We do maintain the ability, just like any other landlord, to conduct inspections to make sure there's compliance with the lease agreement. And also, it specifically gives the police department, all city personnel departments the ability to conduct inspections, not controlling it, not watching. It goes through in this section, as I can as well as the landlord, this section of the revised manual says that the cultural and wreck services folks will give training on how you can use the HVAC system, how you use lighting, how you use the sound system. You as the event organizer, the nonprofit corporation, are responsible for picking your personnel and how you're going to do it. You go and we talked about it, we're in a position where we provide prepared diagrams that show the exits and entrances which is one of the things you got to have for your permit. You as the event organizer put down where you want to set up, city personnel will not be there to conduct concession operations. One of the other changes from a current process, you get to have complete control of the nonprofit over all the concessions. Everything is yours if you want to sell more. And the city, unlike in the regular range, it will not take a cut of the concessions. Now that leads to the obvious other question. You've got to recalibrate how you charge a fee. Because the city does not want to get defeats the whole purpose of showing that the nonprofit isn't charged with the event if the city is trying to interject itself into what's old, how it's old, it backs out. That can be devised. There's all sorts of creativity that can be used, ever had to be in charge. It can be sliding scale based on attendance, anything like that. Same thing has to be done on the difference with the deposit. The current, the owner is still in place, and we'll be after you get off this. If you don't have the sales, the out beverages, you've got to put it deposit for each of the events. This one would have a deposit for one event which may cover multiple days. And there it's just you got to list it on the rental agreement so you can turn that in. When all that's said, once they do that and they manage to get their permit, does their advantages, once the non-profit is able to get that special one-time permit from the North Carolina Alcoa like beverage control commission, they then have the ability since they are not a retail business. They have the ability to go out and purchase from local retailers if they want to be picking the ones with an enclosed business. I try not to plug in individual businesses where I have been meeting or they can try to work out an arrangement for the wholesaler and improve whatever their market may be to help their fundraising. Therefore, it's an option they have that we would not have. They're in a better position with that. So with that said, the recommendation is, if you're interested in that policy choice, is to first deal with the possession and consumption of the local warden at the Air Force adopting the amendment to section 130.0, it's the code of Ashbrough. And then it's a separate matter if you are interested in taking that approach from the sunset theater to adopt the ordinance pertaining to amending the Article 14 of the Cultural and Rec Services Manual to implement those changes. I will say there's a difference in effective dates. The effective date for the 130.03 would be tonight. So that goes against an effect. The effective date for the article before 10 of the Cultural Recurbs Services Manual would be July 1. The reason for the July 1 date is one, if you're interested in pursuing this, we've got to read it with Cultural Rec Services. They're in a form, so they have the one they got now and they got a different one based on which provision they're under. And we need to get everybody all on the same page and on what's happening to, for the rental fees, how they're adjusted, since there's a different circumstance, so it's collected. It's more logical that that would fit within your budget process so that when you're going through the budget and adopting that for you're coming this year which takes effect in July 1, that the fee schedule itself, not within this chapter or article excuse me, the fee schedule is amended to effect in July 1, like any other fees that are impacted to reflect that different charging schedule. So I'll be happy to try to answer any questions. I think that was something. You should be your opinion in respect to the big structure in relation to the sense of theater. You have a base rate plus the percentage of the sales of popcorn, salt, drinks, and proportion of that. Or alcohol, that would be in a in a foul, that would be, is taking at risk that it's intermingling us too much in that operation. As opposed to just flat charging, I think you've got your rental in charge, we release, need to get this as it. Thank you for your effort in what you've done here, because that was a great concern of mine. I didn't want us again to retail alcohol sales. I just thought that would put us at too big a risk. I'm glad you saw it. It's all the same way that you've come up with this. Because a month ago, I would have voted flat-nosed. Anyway. What I do is, I truly thought of the pitfalls, the one-pointed virtues of the other, and I don't know especially from the instructions, the primary focus is obviously it is not the business or anything. And in such a limited volume to do it, we never have all the agency at that. I mean, you gotta have Stats here. I think we gotta write panel of us, but terrible. It's not like that. A lot of our people are underrated. Yeah, I can say, you know the, the problem of smudging the ten consequences but the intended, unintended detail of the original file process. So I say that to say, the sheer difference in the Green's borrows that Green's borough calcium over the year just body, body meant the description. There for example, there is big enough to work like a forward alloy. Well, it's a matter of that in the way the statute is set up. There is a permit for convention centers. The Coliseum would fit under that. The sunset theater doesn't fit with that definition. For example, also, there's a permit for community theaters. I asked this specific question. There is a permit for community theaters, but the definition in the statute says that has to be a nonprofit corporations Community theater and so I ask on the thing do we do we count as since we definitely don't make money do we count as a non-profit So that's how technically it gets or whether or not we qualify for the only definition given the type of venue that we have. So definitely you are absolutely right. Coliseum certain athletic venues they can get permits. And we can get a permit. I'm not trying to make sure I'm clear of that. I'm not misleading. No, I'm not. We can get a permit but it has to be under the retail business. It has a function. It's a function only issues as a private coiner. I mean, the, whatever the moral or the risk side of that, part of the side, but I mean, it's just a bad business plan here regardless of the rest of the life there. Right. Um, not like that. It's funny how we got one ordinance to get rid of one product causes a grant inconvenience to one tenant that, that the implement the exact same ordinance on another tenant, causes a grant companion. the Ukrainian post-ponsoring of events like if it wasn't sealed out hell it better. I, uh, probably, you know, we have it in past, or in the art steal very, you know, sometimes we, we are a producer or a post-ponsor, not that the friends that I agree would, but that's the best example I have right at home. Because we post-ponsored that series with them, uh, I don't think that they would, but they might come. Also, one makes sure I understood when you said a singular rental or say like two weeks is that for a clue, a Thursday night, that the 8-3 might want to do it, use it to give air walls. Unless you want to have separate permits. Separate permits. That is correct. I was asked exactly the same thing. The same one for three permits for 33rd Sunday then then don't put nothing. Because the actual answer guys is that if you have any interruption during that 24 hour period by some other entity having control within the premises where the permitee is supposed to be in charge. You can go back and try to get a separate permit for a different event, but you no longer have the one event and you're going to have a direct and we'll have to go through the application process and pay a fee for each of those permits as opposed to classified. That is good. They sound bad. We have concerns over one I don't know best get an individual vagary of how the interpretation is going to be when the permits are trying to get certainty on what the permit is. Two, it starts opening up questions for the city, as far as to make this work we're having, the city is having to give up a lot of control that it normally retains. So I'll tell you about our own least provisions, the cities, the one I'm advocating right now, specifically prohibits subletting and assignment, as part of that balancing and trading all of us as a city giving up people there to anyone. But don't forget now, five or six months from now, four or five months from now we're going to have the gym. So that gives us another facility. Let's see with heating and air conditioning, with the stage if we need to. The glory of the vengeance under the moon. The point is though that that brings a hope and it's give us one more chance. Give us another venue. Right. Mr. Chairman. How common is it to reserve a theater for Earth's theater, some theater group for two or three weeks because they have rehearsals and then they do two weekends, like Thursday Friday and Sunday and Sunday and then the next Thursday Friday and Sunday. So we've got, they've got a book for two and a half weeks of How common is it for us to have slip up a one night gathering in there Or is it dark for three weeks? I mean it's not totally dark. We do have a Chance because they usually don't practice the second week They just have a brush up so usually there's a Monday or Tuesday where we could do a Movie or speaking engagement. There's a lot of engine can do, there's all their props of course take up in stage space. But there are small gathered type of density figures. But it's not in the grand scheme, it's not a huge. What is the first hit in your situation for the sponsorship that you're talking about? If nonprofit A is running the facility and I'm not sure what I'm talking about in terms of our sponsorship. Is that actual cash funding going to be being? I think that's one of those that's holding the eye of the beholder. Without, I'm not trying to be big, I think there's a lot of room for maneuverability on that. The one thing that I think you cannot do is under our current rule. It was in the ones that will stay in place for events that did not involve the sale of our color beverages. The recreation services director retains the authority at any time to choose to cause an event on behalf of the city. So the city will be involved. Recultural Rec Services will be involved in the event in the theater and what's going on. If you choose to have an event without, excuse me, with the sale of alcoholic beverages, we've removed that op, that right from the manual provisions just to keep it from confusing the issue of what's going on. I don't think it at all stocks. Other activities, the city may be willing to be involved with. It's just as landlord were given them quiet enjoyment of the facilities that we're trying to get it as far to look for any one reviewing I appreciate you always trying to compress that over the food if we still wanted to Heart sponsor some matter to play. I mean if Something goes badly. It's great God for me. You get so good away. I mean, I think that getting sued in a way. I mean I think that that concern is to me it's under abundance of cops and I don't think we're being anytime but but I follow you your premise is signing by this matter it's a county. Don't forget now that doesn't preclude the council from making a contribution to support the arts you don't make a contribution to support for our elite. It doesn't preclude that. It just might be more general, and that's co-producer. It could be timely. A, a, a producing sponsor. You say the business name is called? Generally, Jonathan, tell me, tell us, how I can. What our general intent is when we co-sponsor with most of these nonprofits is to let them use our insurance and save them the rental fee. In most cases that's correct. Okay. Well that'd be the two things that absolutely would make this whole thing all involved. You've not got consideration if you don't have any insurance. Correct. So you can't go to order or nothing. Oh that's a long way. Thank you. Jonathan the Comfort Regulation Service is comfortable returning the facility over to someone else if they're going to be serving alcohol beverages, you know, are they willing to say, okay, there's a joke, you run light, you run air, you run everything, and I hope when I go in there tomorrow, everything still works. You know, that's- I can say this- There is provision in here regarding that. But that's where it is in the future, right? The groups that currently use it now, which I'll say a new group could come in and told you, not the average, but they already control for their production, the light, the sound, they instruct us when they turn on the heat and air, so they're basically doing anyway, they're just not poking but their talents might do it. So all those factors they're already doing though. The difference is that for me, when Mr. Sugg put in the ability for us to still inspect. As long as I have that ability to go in periodically, they don't know when I'm coming but I can go in and see what they're doing to protect the ceiling. They're going to be behind the counter and the concession. And say the same thing, the other same thing, the other same thing, the other same equipment will not be a model. So they'll have to do not have concessions from our concession. Not from the city. If the nonprofit decides to do that, is another means of revenue that they can do that. They set it up in a lobby on the table. But what they can use to concession states, I mean, it's fair. All right. My question then is, are you coming to roll with, assistant, non-city employees behind the county and the concession stands. Yeah, because there will be nothing there. There will be no public there. No park on park. You don't be there. No, we don't know. We don't know. Yeah, so they can use the stand, but not get quit. That's correct. OK. But in as far as your inspection, they'd have to be there. Because they're just mechanical controllers. there would definitely be signal damage. Without all premises, they can't believe it. Unattended. So for your inspection, they'd have to be there. For them to maintain their permanent. I would think. It would be a matter of the agreement itself makes it clear that our inspections will bring open ended to what can happen and that can be a matter if we have a trouble with a rent room. And that's what I was going to bring to this. Our interpretation is going to be that without doing too far, get trigger alarms for reviewing officials, that our inspections can include inspections by city officials who are, for example, in facilities maintenance. Those facilities, when they go in, if they see an issue and a restroom, that inspection will fix it, get it taken care of, even if we don't have someone there at the time. And I was going to say, and I'm relying partly on the market and people wanting to continue to be able to use the facility, because part of what is specifically included on facility operational issues, if someone has to repeat the problem as far as on how they're treating that facility, it explicitly says by way of illustration and not limitation, the department may deny to any potential renter the use of the facility for the following reasons A, the proposed event may result in damage to the facility. B, the proposed event is even system for the firm's policies and priorities. C, the Director of Foreign and Articable Opinion that an event creates an environment conducive to the occurrence within the facility of one or more identifiable and lawful activities. So the deed of a post-VN has the articular and realistic potential to be detrimental to the character of the theater as a multipurpose community facility. So if something starts going too long, a moment of event, for example, we can no longer use it for multipurpose, then there is an authority for the recreation services director to shut down an event, obviously, to consult with the city of management. But to shut down an event, obviously, to be consulting with the city of management. But to shut down an event from happening, and that fits with the fact that, are you please correct me if I'm mistaking this? I believe all the groups that we currently identify and want to take advantage of this, have been good tenants. They're not. They don't raise the concerns that we're talking about. But there's always the potential that if they did, we start getting problems with the Director of Connect to stop future events. It's not perfect, but that's what we're at right now. So, and, Jan, yes. For the council, you'll be a motion for the regional airport, for the regional airport, and motion for the sunset theater. Two separate actions. Yes. One, two, adopt the amendment to section 130.03 of the code. A separate action to adopt, the amendment are before, are before changing the cultural services policy manual Let's get down to our board now to let us do that. regarding the airport through West. If you're not on my commercial, we're pretty very poorly dressed, we're dressed for alcohol beverage control, all kinds of things. I have a motion to approve the request from the museum. I'll leave the air second. Motion by Mr. Martin. I'll go ahead and discuss further discussion. All favour say aye? Aye. All opposed? Motion carries. The next issue would be over the adoption of the ordinance minigrardical 14 of the policy manual. Just in my reluctance, hesitation. I'd like to thank you for that some more. Yeah, maybe I've given the way that this sort of valve to have become quite as easy as you've first anticipated. And as much as it was not going to be a backup until July anyway, I'm just moving with the table that's continued matter to have. And I will say, I have a, and I will say, I'm a bunch of, and I will come in. So, you have done the only work here, covered it well, crossed every teach twice and done it every time. What we ask you to do for us? It's just really complicated. I would like to think about it. So have a motion to delay consideration. Do we need a specific link to that next month? You can phrase it over how you want to, but didn't know if we just we can bring back in. Any second table of motion? I have a second. Second. Second Mr. Birx. I'll say before you move the clerks interpreting it, that you just meant a motion to table it indefinitely, you can tell us when you want to bring it back. We can change it in what you want to do. And after we sleep on it and consider it, we talk to you a little bit and talk you on it ourselves, what we make bring it back next month. That's not the mile of the obvious. It's a lot to take into night as evidence by the detail that you just gave us. Well, discussion wise, there was just operational challenges that were brought forth. The premise seems simple, pretty easy guy. But I'm not opposed to this, but in her slide, it's just turned into something that's different. I don't know if it's necessarily a North Complicate, but it's much different than what we thought it might be. There's no rush one day versus another. I mean, I don't want to leave the folks who are very interested in passing this thing. I mean, for everybody. It's quite possible in the end that we're talking about. This is the little shindown anyway. I don't see a huge crowd coming to the sunset there, but I probably didn't. If it helps, I will attempt to drink. It will help, so I will say to the forronically, to the others, they were having an event on May 30th, so it was cutting them out. Their next event, if I may be reading the schedule correctly is in August. That was one in addition to lining it up with our budget process to get the fees work in for July 1. And they have to get an application in at least no less than it has to be complete for no less than 14 days in advance of when the event is. were using the July one day lineup with the city's budget process but to have them in a position if they wanted to advertise or do anything come their next performance which it looks like that would be obvious to have to have some certainty in place where we could say you can at least go do this. So you're saying we can't make their mate in event period no matter how we go about it. There's no way we can redo the forms to get that done. We were just trying to make sure we did get it done. And I said it fit with our budget process. So we've got 30 to 60 days buffer here that affects their schedule. The July 1 of the very comfortable still gave them really to catch that August hookup of that. All right. And we encourage you, Mayor, that you want to be downtown run by the sea jump there, J.O.E. or Taylor, talk to them, so they think about it. Yeah, okay. We work. This is the same thing, Jonathan and Jeff and I are wrestling with. We have old gameplay and a bunch of what to do. Well, I think we all thought we were going to have hay bars and so forth. But as we'd work through this. There's been good what to do with that. And there being very helpful. I don't say you're someone from B.A. Brotherhood, but I'll be very helpful and very gracious. And I'm casting as perjions on him by Jeff is doing exactly what we hired him soon and he has coded very thoroughly and has cyphered all of the pitfalls and unintended consequences and is protecting our interest. So in the end, it may not be working. But, there's a reason North Carolina, the model for the whole nation, is the lowest volume and highest profit state in the nation. It is coming to that. By the time. All right, so, I will go ahead and call for a vote. On favor of postponing this decision, table and this indefinitely. Say aye. Aye. of postponing this decision. Tabling is indefinitely. Say I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, change, I would appreciate it. Well, I'm more honest, but I don't think I've got nothing to better than 60. All right. Let's raise this. I'm more honest, we don't think that nothing no better than 60 things. All right. Let's raise 15A resolution authorizing and green to receive distribution from the favorite field tops for more of the down. We have been advised that an endowment has been set up with the North Carolina Community Foundation in which distributions can come to the City of Ashbro to maintain the City Cemetery. Before we can receive any of those funds, we do need to pass a resolution saying that we will use those funds only for the maintenance of the City Cemetery. In your packets is so-called resolution that I recommend adoption by reference. Okay, Councilor Nguyen, the Prime Minister of the resolution authorizes those agreements. I'll entertain a motion to approve by reference. Mary, I move we have been officiated by the motion by reference. Mary, move me to the benefit here. I have a motion by Mr. Bale. Do I have a second? Second. Second. Mr. Schleiders. Discussion? All the favourites out? All the pose. I have 15 B is an ordinance consideration, an ordinance of end-genre funds. Yes, before you have an ordinance to amend the general fund, recognizing some additional funds that came from the ABC Board that was not included in the budget and utilizing those funds for some airport needs that were not considered at the time we prepared the budget. Those needs are some security enhancements, gate controllers, keypad readers and maintenance to hangar doors and a heat pump. The amount of is $25,000 that was received in excess of what was budgeted from the ABC Board as a special distribution. I recommend adoption by reference. I have a motion to approve this. After resolution by reference. Mayor, I move a doctor yield. That's for you. Mayor, I have a question before we vote? It says on here fiscal year 2017-2018. Whoops. It should say 18-9. It should say I recommend adoption with the correction of the fiscal year to say 2018-2019. I apologize for that oversight. Motion to approve the-2019. I apologize for that oversight. Motion to approve with the adoption. I mean, with the correction. Good idea. Good idea, right? I get one now, Nick. For you, no, I have a reading camera. I'll make you dental record. All right. All in favor, say aye. All opposed. All in favor. And. All in favor. All in favor. All in favor. Please bring that to you. Mr. Leonard, item 16. We have some room to request for a contract with a place A and A, C and as for a police. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Informal biz were advertised and received on April 1, 2019 by 2 p.m. Three biz were received, one from Kataba Mechanical Services and Corporated, one from Charlie's Ten Shop Incorporated, one from Superior Mechanical Incorporated. Superior Mechanical was the lowest responsive bidder with a low bid of $104,240.00 and staff recommends approval of the low bid submitted by superior mechanical for the replacement of the AgPrile Police Department HVAC system. OK. In questions, Mr. Leonard. I'll tell you a motion. So I believe motion by Mr. Renner. I've had a motion. Motion by Mr. Mock been a mighty quiet tonight. I have a motion. A second, I'm going to snook discussion. I'll declare it say I, I, I'll vote for Kerry. Mr. Leonard, would you take a lot of time to brief the council on the fact of them, the wisdom at the airport, that's what you think? on the fact that there was an airport last week. Yes, sir. We had a break in on, I believe it was Monday night of last week at the airport. Some folks came in. We're not sure if there was one or possibly two suspects. Cut the fence off a Dolomountain road Worked their way across the runway and taxiway Staying the shadows and hit the two open t-hangers They were wearing a hoodie and possibly a mask is really hard to tell by the video They hit they stayed there for probably about two hours total between the 1240 and Somewhere around two thirty three o'clock They Hit approximately or we think they hit we hadn't heard any different eight airplanes. They basically took avionics out of the airplanes, radios, stuff like that. Nothing that was associated with the tail number to the radios, so they knew what they were doing. Our tail number to the plane that they stole it from, so they pretty much knew what they were doing. Several numbers had been taken for all that stuff and given to P, Ashpur PD. I really hadn't heard and asked them that was somewhere around $150,000 worth of equipment. I hadn't heard since. They also hit calls the aviation on which is in liberty. Was it the end of last week, John? So it appears like they're hitting several. They know what they're doing. They're going to have a chance to play. Mainly locks, a couple locks. A lot of the planes were left unlocked because folks think that, and it's true thinking, it's cheaper to just replace that than it is to replace some of the glass and stuff if they break the glass out. So, they broke some door handles and stuff like that on some planes. It'll hit the road across the street on the part of that. Yes, it comes off a top hill. All across the air, roads. Top hill farm, they park somewhere. They found tire tracks, parked in the mud, up off a dome mountain road, came down a gravel drive that goes down through there and parked off into the grass and then they walked from there. I think the call came in. The reason why they found out I think was they were getting ready to, one of the persons was getting ready to do their training and they rolled the plane out and noticed that the equipment was gone and they started checking plane out and noticed that the equipment was gone and they started checking around from there. Okay, well obviously, from the actual, what they knew exactly and what they wanted. That's correct. Okay, I thought not everybody probably knew that, so thank you. Hey, PD was out there most of that day, maybe perhaps they were out there and they did They did fingerprint several, you know, they found smudges and stuff that we thought were they were probably wearing gloves. We looked through the video and I hadn't seen the videos since it's been enhanced, but it appeared like at one point we saw two shadows but most of the time it looked like it was just one person. Oh when you're upcoming events the offices are closed for this Friday April 19th you invited to the Fire Department of Promotion Center for the celebration for our breakfast. with the celebration, forbrest, forbrest, this is coming up and we had a double the title this year, no pun intended. Trying to procure me a speaker, we had two or three speakers that they all know us. Yeah. Actually, we had somebody to ring your sign to contract him and he realized he had a little look to conflict but really would have been particularly good speaker but the speaker's bureau that the agent we were using had a good second, second place for. So we are on your tickets. You have your tickets. Before I forget, if you are not going to use those tickets, turn them back in. We have people calling City Hall, this is a hard ticket to get. Every table we can possibly fit in the ABS is fitted and we don't see eight people, we see nine people with those tables. So, and we go to the aspect. Yeah, we need to build an accident. Alright, the... That's better. Winger this year is making out that San Francisco is a National News correspondent, Hope MC, and active.

That is what makes us for our special places, our collaboration, that's what it got us, our partnerships and collaborations, what the cultures went. All they're can see is what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what does this fall or it's a special place? Uh, exactly where you want it to be. And uh, appreciate our work and staff. All of you, staff, uh, council. And I got some good things. I appreciate those of you that showed up at the uh, biotech, uh, band opening last week, that was quite an operation. Quite an operation in there. We are in 18 popular. So that ultimately is going to be 160 of the family employees. It's going to waste a go, but then we'll come back for the real sport really, and then we'll come back for the real sport. We'll explain to them. And then there's a point. There's watching. There's watching to the right. Yeah, I did. They already stepped up and joined the chamber. They've joined the zoo. And they're watching. So that was very pleased to be here. And as I said, my colleagues, everything that said to me was about the people that they specifically sent to the church. And finally, in Kevin, in DC, they are here because of people that compared to them in one, in one of the years. So what I mean is what I'm going to do is to. We want to be here. So we'll be here this morning. Yeah, I will stand on the Comers place. That's been a nightmare kind of a source for biotech, because it was not Comers place, but that was their address. Miss Miller has accepted the offer, which for the property right away. According to our appraiser, the offer was zero because she was getting a rate she did not have any rate from it. been sent to the two additional property owners for the remaining portion of the right way and we're just awaiting response. No, they were actually, that was an awful thing. Here that back 400,000. And I'm not that personally out loud. There's another location. And then they started working on that side by protection. I asked about the mailbox. And they were told that the mailbox out by the street because there was no building. Now the post office refuses to deliver to the building because you got a mailbox out there. But every truck driver wanted that side to stop the central gas for a year. They had it over a year and they asked God to find a commerce place. After they drive down Commerce blood, I'm not going to have one. But maybe putting that road through there's a big problem. Great. So good. I've shown we've not heard that my market is not heard from here. No, our fourth three, we developed a commission. They've done about the last week. Traveling there, the science school was waiting 100 in their parking bank, their parking study waiting. This is the landmark proposed project in the Mill Building, actually Mill Building right next door. It should be done in the next. Shortly we should. We should know that their approval has been grand right. And this has been a whole And this is going to all come together shortly. They'll be a big thing for that time. Same for sure. Take care, don't you? Yeah. Anything else? Thank you for allowing me to keep you here until 10 o'clock. I'm sorry. Appreciate you for coming. You're right. Thanks. Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much. That was a blast.
